Watch Shovel Knight's Epically Retro Battletoads Fight

We don't usually post straight up gameplay videos, but if you don't have an Xbox One this is simply too good to miss. While PSN users got to fight Kratos in his 8-bit pixel chains, Microsoft allowed Yacht Club Games to feature the most popular aquatic green warriors of the '90s, Pimple, Zitz, and Rash. After discovering a "Mysterious Map" inside the Hall of Champions, a new level opens up and it's a love letter to Rare's groundbreaking NES beat 'em up, Battletoads.

Actively wondering if this isn't Yacht Club's way of gently nudging Microsoft into letting them make the now-mythical sequel that fans have been (to be fair, semi-ironically) clamoring for since 1994.
